2021 STREAM WATCH VOLUNTEER MANUAL Volunteers Making a Difference on the Kenai Peninsula! kenaiwatershed.org/stream-watch/ Dear Volunteer, Thank you for volunteering to make a difference with Stream Watch this summer! Beginning in 1994, volunteers have dedicated thousands of hours protecting and conserving the important natural and cultural resources on the Russian and upper Kenai River through assisting with hands-on stewardship projects and peer-to-peer education. In 2011, Stream Watch was expanded to include additional popular recreation and fishing sites on the lower Kenai Peninsula in hopes of making a bigger difference educating anglers and visitors about how to reduce their impacts on the land, fish, wildlife and cultural resources. In addition to great work on the ground, you will have the opportunity to enjoy the company of other dedicated volunteers while working in some of the most beautiful places on the planet. As the eyes and ears of the land managing agencies, your presence, your concern and your efforts to protect Kenai Peninsula rivers will have a lasting impact. Every time you answer a question, pick up a piece of trash or mend a river protection fence, you can be assured that you are making a HUGE difference! On behalf of the partner agencies and entities, we sincerely thank you for your time and dedication and look forward to working with you this season. Be safe and have fun!

The impacts of this can be many. If not managed effectively, the rivers and surrounding areas can begin to deteriorate from litter, trampled plants, illegal fishing or other inappropriate uses. To help ensure that these special places and the plentiful natural resources are not jeopardized, volunteers play a critical role in assisting the partner agencies in being the hands, eyes, and ears on the ground each season. Since the creation of the program in 1994, Stream Watch has grown from only a handful of people to over 70 active volunteers who work on the Kenai, Russian and Kasilof Rivers. Administration and Partners The Stream Watch program is jointly administered by the Chugach National Forest and the Kenai Watershed Forum in partnership with the following: ● Alaska Department of Natural Resources o Department of Mining, Land and Water o Alaska State Parks ● City of Soldotna ● Kenai National Wildlife Refuge ● Kenai Peninsula Borough Volunteer Coordinators Two volunteer coordinators provide support to Stream Watch volunteers. Duties of the coordinators include: volunteer training, scheduling, special event planning and assisting with on-the-ground projects such as fence installation and litter patrols. Responsibilities include: Schedule and coordinate volunteers Develop and facilitate projects Act as liaison between agency managers, on-site staff, and volunteers Provide on-site support Collect data and report Supporters The Stream Watch program’s success is attributed to the dedication of individual volunteers and groups such as Alaska Fly Fishers, Alaska Geographic, Alaska Recreational Management, Alaska Wildland Adventures, City of Kenai, ConocoPhillips, McLaughlin Youth Center, Trout Unlimited, Youth Restoration Corps and more. These groups have supported the program by providing staff or financial resources as available over the years. 3 Volunteer Opportunities There are two ways to get involved with the program: Ambassador Program Ambassadors are trained volunteers that donate at least 24 hours during the summer 2021 season and are provided with incentives for making an ongoing commitment to the program. Stewardship Day Program Provide volunteers an opportunity to get their feet wet during a one-day project like river clean-ups, erosion control projects and fence installation. If you know of a group who would like to participate or you would like to be a volunteer leader for the day, please contact a volunteer coordinator. Training Volunteers receive a mandatory, in-depth training on effective outreach and program protocols, logistics and safety. In addition to a pre-season training session, on-site river orientations are scheduled to familiarize volunteers with site specifics including logistics and educational messaging. However, for the 2021 season we are opting for smaller group presentations of no more than 10 people at a time to take place in the areas that people will be volunteering. Contact the Stream Watch Coordinator in your area and set up a time for orientation.

As a volunteer, you have the opportunity to schedule work on any of the sites on the Kenai Peninsula based on site preference and availability. In addition, the program’s success has been built upon working with individuals to craft a plan to meet both the needs of the site and the abilities of the volunteer(s). Duties Duties can include: ● Walking trails and informing the public about diverse topics (habitat protection, bear awareness, regulations, fish waste management, fishing techniques) ● Standing in key locations to alert visitors about important information (regulation change/bear safety) ● Installing or mending river protection fences on trails or along the river ● Completing hands-on projects for erosion control ● Picking up litter and/or monofilament fishing line Volunteer Commitment Becoming a Stream Watch Ambassador is a commitment to the river and to the program! By signing the mandatory volunteer agreement, volunteers agree to follow the program protocols, complete required paperwork and commit to volunteering at least 24 hours during the summer season. The agreement must be signed before an individual is allowed to volunteer at Stream Watch sites.

    Fire History Disturbance Study of the Kenai Peninsula Mountainous Portion of the Chugach National Forest

    Fire History Disturbance Study of the Kenai Peninsula Mountainous Portion of the Chugach National Forest Written by Michele Potkin December 5, 1997 Abstract Forests in the vicinity of the Kenai Peninsula portion of the Chugach National Forest are of special ecological interest because of their transitional nature between coastal and interior forest types. The Continental Interior boreal forest and Maritime Pacific coast ecological regions merge on the Forest. Fire has historically been present in this century in the Kenai Mountains but whether fire is the important disturbance process creating structural and landscape diversity within this ecosystem is unknown. This report describes three distinct periods of fire frequency - prehistoric (pre 1740), settlement (1741-1913), and post-settlement (1914-1997). Fire reports on the Forest from 1914- 1997 were summarized and attributed into a GIS data base documenting fire occurrences for the post-settlement period. A historic fire map was generated for known disturbance burn polygons. A historic land classification document containing maps and photographs, reveals widespread fire disturbances at the turn of the century, settlement period. The present study examined the fire history disturbances of three isolated mature forest areas to reconstruct the age distributions of living trees. Twenty-four historic burns were also examined, future work will reconstruct the age distributions of living trees sampled. Radiocarbon dates of soil charcoal were collected under mature forest stands to document pre-historic fire occurrences. Within the historic burns, remnants of older stumps and isolated residual trees reveal mature forests existed prior to disturbance. Needleleaf forests adjacent to these historic burns have ages greater then 200 ybp.
